I really want one and have wanted one for a while. Well, I don't necessarily need a Pandora brand since they're pricey, but I like that bead bracelet look. I saw on the Kohl's website that they have their own version, in sterling silver, for only $28 as opposed to Pandora's that $55. And it's compatible with Pandora beads and all the other cheaper brands.

I have a 20% coupon that expires tomorrow, so I feel like I need to go buy it.

For the last 2 years my local jeweler has had a special deal where if you buy $100 in beads, you receive a "free" Pandora bracelet w/ the lobster enclosure. I totally missed the special this year, but last year I did a bracelet and charms for my sister's bday gift.

I can ask the jeweler if they will do the special again next year if you wanted to wait that long.

Y'all are so special to me! I just got the most unexpected delivery.... THANK YOU for the flowers. They are beautiful and from my favorite florist in town. They smell heavenly too. Here is a picture of the arrangement... and, the table where they are completing the perfect table decoration. Thank you again... y'all are so thoughtful.

The flowers and the table landscape are both beautiful! I love the big fluffy white cat on the buffet.

Question: Is it a buffet or is it a smaller Duncan Phyfe table w/ the leaves down?

Exactly, it can work that way too....and I was okay with the cheaper bracelet since it's going to be all covered with beads eventually anyway...

I totally agree. I still wanted sterling silver because sometimes my skin reacts weird if I wear other metals, but I didn't need Pandora brand. I did go to Kohl's after work yesterday and got a sterling silver snake chain bracelet, a football charm, a tropical drink charm and a pink flower charm modeled like those Murano glass beads. I love it!

Thanks... I have decorations for every holiday! The cat is new, got him at a silent auction last month when we were at Scott's conference. He cost me $60! I think he's from Target though... he dances & raps! I have fall stuff spread out all through the house, upstairs and down. I go more overboard with the fall-winter holidays than the spring-summer ones!

That's great! The only holiday I decorate for is Christmas. I just don't have anywhere to store the other stuff and would probably be too lazy to get it out anyway. I have been looking for a fall wreath to hang on my door, but haven't found one that speaks to me. I've got one for Christmas with silver and gold glittery jingle bells, but the rest of the year, the wreath hook hangs empty.

I can NOT believe how chatty it was here today!!!
If I were at work it would have been jinxed

Jess, we sell a Pandora like bracelet at the store.
It's a comepany called Zable out of Italy distributed in Fall River or New Bedford.

Anyway...we have 3 different lenght bracelet that are so cool. I love how the spacers look and how you screw off the end to slide beads on.

Anyway I'm telling you this b/c pretty soon Laura is going to put all of our in stock beads (and maybe the bracelets. I can ask) at a huge discount - almost cost - to get them out of the store.

There is a bead store up the road from us that sells many brands and is doing a booming business so ours are just sitting around.

The beads are silver and some have enamel inlay.
I can send you a book if you want to see them. I wish I got a discount to help you out but if they go on sale soon (and we talked about it just yesterday) the beads will be really cheap!

Good morning. I think I must have fallen out of bed and slept on my head. I have the worst pain in my shoulders/neck/head this morning. I would take some Advil, but my stomach is already hurting. Oy, it's going to one of THOSE days. I hope y'all are all doing better than I am!

Suz - sorry it's an icky start to your day. Hope things start to look up. Mine has not started out so hot either.US. Drive safe!

Jess - how fun that you picked out some beads and a bracelet. These things sound so neat, but I am just not much of a jewelry wearer, so I feel as though it would be wasted on me. And a Dharma bead? How cool is that? Sorry for the gloomy weather. It's sunny here today...I will try to push it your way for tomorrow. Do you guys have the crazy winds we have had?

Barb - hi there! How are you doing? I hope you are resting and taking care of yourself. I am thinking about ya!

Melissa - Good morning! Nice to see you here! Although, I think I actually missed ya! But it was nice to see your smiling face!

Right now I am trying to gather up the strength to go to the gym. My morning has not started out well. Threw up in our bathroom, came downstairs to make Jax his chocolate milk and Rich's lunch and I then threw up in the garbage can and then in our sink. I had no where to go, it was the closest thing I could get to! LOL!
So I am feeling pretty lousy. But I hate A) paying for the gym and not going and B) I hate sitting around here in the house feeling all lazy.

So I am still gonna try to push through and go. Just to walk on the treadmill or elliptical for 30 minutes.

That doesn't sound good! Maybe if you eat something your stomach will feel better and you can take some Advil?

You poor thing! You're a better woman than me. There's no way I'd be going to the gym after puking all morning!

That's why I went with Kohl's - the football bead was normally $45!!!! but I got it on sale for $14.99 and then used my 20% off coupon so only paid $12 for it. And that was for sterling silver so not bad at all. A lot of them are not sterling and still cost $30 or more.

I think ebay is a good place to get them. That's where I'm searching right now.
